Multiverse Selection 3 Harry Potter Auden

Auden then spent the rest of the day buying the necessary items required by a Hogwarts student at the start of their year. He bought the clothes in the required sizes and a few automatic quills and ink. The automatic quills, when activated, help the user write whatever is in their mind without touching the quill. He might not be able to use them in class as it might be disrespectful, but he would be able to use them for assignments when needed.

He then went to the bookstore to see whether the book he needed was there or not. After finding the required books, he copied them with his system and exited the shop after buying two of the costliest books. They were collector's items, and he bought them because he felt a bit guilty for stealing the books with his system. Plus, after buying this absurdly costly book, he went back to record every other book present in the shop without any hard feelings.

He also found Lockhart's books. He felt like deleting them, but he stopped as he could do it later after Lockhart was revealed as a fraud. The curse on the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts would do its job. Plus, Lockhart was a fake, so he might not survive it like the other capable professors who managed to quit after a year without any major problems.

He already had an excellent cauldron gifted to him by the Flammels. So, he decided to leave Diagon Alley and return to his home.

After reaching his home, he immediately activated the system and took out the easiest and the first spell every wizard has to learn.

Lumos. It only required a slight flick, intent, and the image of a light.

He took out his wand, held it in a comfortable position, and spelt it out.

"Lumos," he muttered, but nothing happened. He felt a bit disappointed, but he shook it off. He began to see where he had gone wrong. But just as he was about to do so, he heard voices from his wand.

"The flick should be softer and the image needs to be of a light source. It does not require imagining the wand itself being lit up?" he muttered what the wand said out loud, and he felt affirmation from it.

"Lumos." He used the spell again, this time using the wand movements as described and imagining a flashlight that was lit up instead of using the Lumos images from the movie he had seen before.

The end of the wand suddenly lit up in bright white light, illuminating the entire room.

"This is so cool," he muttered. Even a 16-year-old would feel excitement when they see that they are able to use magic.

"Nox," he muttered and imagined it being switched off—and it worked.

Feeling glad, he tried the spell again.

"Lumos." The spell activated again, but this time he imagined what he had done before—but even brighter—and the spell itself activated the same way.

He then kept on repeating it a dozen more times until finally he gently flicked his wand and it lit up.

He smiled. He knew this would happen, as his wand had told him about it. The more he used and became familiar with a spell, the more the wand would be able to easily hear his intentions and activate the spell even if he did not vocalise it.

'Silent casting becomes so much easier when I can listen to my wand and vice versa,' Auden thought.

"Wingardium Leviosa," Auden spoke while focusing on a cup on the table, but nothing happened. He then tried to listen to his wand, but the wand itself was confused by what he had tried to do.

Seeing this, Auden read every bit of information about the spell from the system and tried it again. This time there was a slight tilt from the cup. But when he asked the wand, he was able to hear clear explanations of the mistakes he had made and how he could improve.

'So that's how it works. The wand does not have a dictionary or something with it containing every bit of information about every spell. So when I used the Lumos spell after reading the information about it—even if it failed—the wand was able to see my intentions through the flick, the spell, and how my magic reacted when it flowed through it.

Intent and imagination are required for a spell, but at the same time, order is also required. Just saying Wingardium Leviosa and expecting objects to float without knowing the underlying principles of the spell is stupid. First, I need to learn every aspect of the spell before using it, and after I do, the wand will tell me the rest.'

Seeing that he had figured out the method to effectively learn spells quickly, he immediately began all the first-year charm spells. He thought about taking up transfiguration, but it's extremely risky spellwork that even manipulates reality, so he decided to wait until school started.

Within five hours, he managed to use Lumos, Nox, Wingardium Leviosa, Alohomora, Reparo, Tergeo, Locomotor, Lumos Solem, Tarantallegra, and Rictusempra—all of the first-year spells—without verbal incantation.

He sighed as he felt slightly tired, but at the same time, he was surprised at how little exhaustion he felt after the hundreds of times he had practised the spells. According to the wizard books he had copied, an 11-year-old wizard would get tired just after using a dozen spells continuously. But it seemed like his level was high for his physical age.

'One more weapon in my arsenal: my magical learning and my stamina level for continuously channelling magic are higher than what most wizards consider normal. I should control myself and act a bit tired after using continuous spells in the future.'

He then checked the time and saw that it was getting late.

"I need to complete the letter before dark for tomorrow," he muttered as he took out the parchment, quills, and letter covers he had brought today. Using the automatic quill, he wrote the letter and filled in the required address. He then took out Hermes and tied the letter to its feet.

"Go. Make sure the letter reaches the person," he said, to which the owl nodded and began flying away.

He watched the owl go and smiled, imagining the reaction of the receiver of the letter.

A/N- hope you like it.
